As a Muslim country, Pakistan's anti-American feelings increase with drone attacks-Dawn.com (Even though we gave them 436,944 halal meals)

• 8/28/10, "US Drone Strike Kills 4 militants in Pakistan," Dawn.com, Pakistan

Peshawar: "More than 1,000 people have been killed in over 100 drone strikes in Pakistan since August 2008, including a number of senior militants.

• However, the attacks fuel anti-American sentiment

• in the conservative Muslim country."...

via John Batchelor show, Fri. 8/27, point made that little or no publicity is seen about US aid to Pakistan's flood ravaged areas, that hundreds of thousands of

• halal meals have been delivered by US military.

In fact, our deliveries of aid are viewed with suspicion.

• (That we only want to take over, as if we don't have enough problems of our own, ed.)

8/20/10, "In addition to airlift support, within 36 hours of the initial flooding on July 29, the U.S. military began delivering thousands of halal meals to Pakistan from U.S. stocks in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the region.

• In all, 436,944 halal meals "ready-to-eat"' were provided to civilian and military officials in Pakistan

• for distribution to Pakistanis in need."...

8/16/10, Instead of being grateful for help from the American taxpayer, negative sentiment is spun that

• our motive for delivering aid is to plant our military in the country
  
• to fight terrorism.(Which we're denying).
  

In widely read Dawn.com, what makes headlines is US killings, and that they

• fuel anti-American sentiment in "the conservative Muslim country."

Reference, 8/2/10, from Halal.net, "US sends 50,000 halal meals for flood victims"

• Pakistani relief official "demanded 380,00 food packets from the US."

On Batchelor's show the point was made that the US doesn't try to make positive news about good things it does in Pakistan or other mid-east countries, because US media will accuse the government of being self-aggrandizing and having conquering motives.

• As the CNS story states, the controlling narrative is the US is perceived negatively no matter how much its citizens give.

• Pakistan facts as of 12/16/08:
  

"Half the country is illiterate and

• three-quarters of it subsists on less than $2 a day,

• according to the World Bank.

That is to say that Pakistan's young men are more abundant as well as cheaper than in any other country in the region.

• Very poor and ignorant young men, especially if their only education has been in Salafi madrassas,

• are very easy to enlist in military adventures. "...
